Classic Apple Pie

Make a single recipe of perfect pie dough. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With lightly floured hands, pinch the edge of the crust to form a scalloped look like peaks 'n' valleys. Freeze 10 minutes.

Peel, core, and cut into 1/4 in. slices 2 1/2 lbs. mixed apples (Gala and Granny Smith). In a large bowl toss together apples with 1/2c light brown sugar, 3 Tbsp. flour, 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice and 1 tsp. cinnamon.

Arrange apples in dough in concentric circles. Brush top edges of dough with egg white and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake in middle of oven for 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. If crust starts to get too brown, cover loosely with foil.

When cooked, transfer pie to cooling rack and brush apples with 2 Tbsp. apricot jam, melted. Slice and serve slightly warm or cool.
